Priyanka, who found global recognition with her character Alex Parrish in the American TV series
Quantico, has been invited to the the special dinner with US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama later this month.
The
Mary Kom star expressed her doubts over attending the special dinner due to her tight schedule for
Quantico as well as for her Hollywood debut
Baywatch.
"Right now I am too busy with
Quantico and
Baywatch. That's why I am not sure if I will dine out with Obama. Not that I don't want to, but I am not sure," Priyanka told the media at an event here.
"If I get the chance to be there, I will ask Obama, 'Since this is your last term, what will you do in the White House'," the
Bajirao Mastani star quipped.
Priyanka, along with some of Hollywood's biggest names like Bradley Cooper, Lucy Liu, Jane Fonda and Gladys Knight, has been invited for the dinner at the White House.
The non-profit White House Correspondents' Association, whose members include the reporters, producers, camera operators and other journalists regularly covering the White House, traditionally hosts this annual dinner to raise money for journalism scholarships.
